Untitled work by Richard Walker.
Brougham Ave and Olive Way.
Wyndham Vale.
Victoria.
Commissioned in 2007 and funded by Council's Per Cent for Art Scheme, through the redevelopment work along the Lollypop Creek.
Artist's Statement.
"My intentions for this project were to produce a bold sculpture with a strong organic feel, and components that held meaning to the region.
The most symbolis of the 4 components is the backbone, as 'Werribee' means backbone in the local aboriginal dialect. The large forged bones come together and hidhlight the importance of working together to provide support, just as in the community.
The columns and fern represent aspects of the local flora, red gums and the sickle fern respectively which can be found in the Wyndham/Werribee region.
These elements are set into a local basalt rock, which is the main rock in the region."
